Just for the record, I am not a hater. I love my I-Pod, I think apple makes great products, but I need to provide IT support to the enterprise. My customers want real time functionality and IMAP won't cut the mustard.

Can the iPhone be used with the iPod interface to listen to music and have it paired via bluetooth (Phone) at the same time?

I'm not sure what you mean by "used with the iPod interface"
My bet is that they work simultaneously but I'm waiting for someone else to confirm it (I think it's already posted in one of the other hundred iPhone threads created over the last few days...
)

I assume he means that he wants to know if the iPhone can be connected to the car via the iPod interface for music (and iDrive control) while the bluetooth connection for the phone is active for the voice calling stuff.

That would be my first test at least. That is the whole objective of having those two devices (iPod and phone) on the same unit. Perhaps it has already been posted, but as you mentioned, too many threads about this topic right now.

Isn't it obvious? I want to connect my iPhone (Which is also an iPod) to my E60 iPod interface and listen to music while I have it paired via BT to use the phone
Yes, thank you Rudy, that is exactly what I meant with my question. So far I have not seen the answer to that one but, isn't that the first thing you would test if you own an E60 with an iPod interface? That would be my first test at least. That is the whole objective of having those two devices (iPod and phone) on the same unit. Perhaps it has already been posted, but as you mentioned, too many threads about this topic right now.

I hope this helps
